Goed hotel, met enkele aandachtspunten in de kamer.
Pros:

Goed hotel voor deze prijs. Op 5 minuten rijden van het vliegveld, handig bij vroeg vertrek de volgende dag. Overigens weinig geluidhinder van het vliegveld. Zeer grote kamer (we kregen een gratis upgrade). Ligging centraal in het plaatsje, met (betaald) parkeren vlakbij. Ontbijt was goed.

Cons:

Kamer niet echt sfeervol (verlichting). Afstandsbediening TV werkte niet goed. Afzuiging in badkamer zeer luidruchtig.

Pros:

Emplacement idéal et propreté des lieux.

Cons:

Malheureusement mes voisins de chambre étaient bruyants et avaient mis leur alarme super fort à 7h00 du matin. Et lorsqu'ils rentraient tard, ils parlaient dort juste devant ma porte. Mais ce n'est pas la faute du White Waters, juste des personnes mal éduqués.

Friendly Staff, Newer Rooms and Great Location!
Pros:

Paula at the front desk was excellent. She was pleasant and quick to answer all my questions about the hotel and restaurant suggestions nearby. The rooms are newer. Bathrooms were small - just for one person but that was common in all the hotels I stayed at in Madeira. This hotel has great location. I loved that the beach was just a block away and there were stores and restaurants close by.

Cons:

There was a curly hair on my vanity - it was clean but that was not a great impression. The bed was comfortable but there were no pillow selections - just two that were the same - big and thick where I like a thinner more squishy type. I had to make a pillow out of my packing cube so my neck would not hurt. There was also a slight sewer smell in the bathroom. No A/C, but luckily it cools down at night. However, if you really like it cold at night, you may want a hotel with A/C. All the hotels along the beach are under the flight path for departing flights, so when sliders are open to help get air circulating in the room, you do hear the jets, but thankfully they are not departing in middle of the night.

Correcte
Pros:

L’allotjament es molt correcte. Personal molt amable, no ens anava l assecador de cabell i amb un moment ens en van donar un. L’esmorzar una mica just, ja que l’embotit no es gaire bo i hi ha poc per triar. Hotel molt tranquil. Els coixins son molt incomodes per dormir.

Cons:

Pros:

Stanza pulita e accogliente presso hotel in posizione centrale. Ottima la colazione, comodo il parcheggio in strada nei pressi della struttura.

Cons:

Assenza di un condizionatore, il ventilatore è stato comunque utile, ma un abbiamo patito un po' di caldo, non così comune a Madeira.
